Product Details

This heirloom chive produces bright green, slender, hollow leaves with a lovely onion-like flavor. In late spring to early summer, pink pompon-shaped edible flowers appear. While it's a hardy perennial in zones 4-8, it's usually grown as an annual staple herb for culinary enjoyment.

    Haven’t planted everything yet waiting for the weather to warm up

    I live in zone 5 so I’m waiting for it to warm up a bit more so k can direct sow some seeds into the ground but the seeds iv started indoors have been amazing! Everything is sprouting and growing nicely. Watermelons, egg plants, tomatoes, etc.

    And with the help of the green house membership iv made myself a plan for when I transplant and direct sow seeds into my garden, wish I had this last year.

    This is my second year buying botanical Interests seeds. There the best!
